Massachusetts governor calls for removal of judge accused of helping immigrant avoid ICE
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) on Monday called for a judge to be temporarily removed from the bench after she allegedly helped an undocumented immigrant avoid Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Baker told reporters that he didn’t think Newton District Judge Shelley Joseph should hear criminal cases until the federal grand jury investigation against her has concluded, The Boston Globe reported.
“Look, judges are not supposed to be in the business of obstructing justice,” he said, according to the Globe.
